Color so bright you can almost feel the sun shining!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to create a colored pencil flower so super-saturated and vibrant that it almost seems to glow? Learn how, right from home.

There is so much packed into this In-Depth

Discover how to get vibrancy, contrast, and depth, how to build layers, and use OMS effortlessly while you create that smooth, dreamy background and brilliantly intense day lily. Lori Seward guides you every step of the way.

You'll learn how to:

• Create an intense lighting effect
• Reproduce value contrasts
• Use solvent to create smooth, rich color

Say bye-bye to that grainy look, and hello to color

So much to learn... like when to use a light pressure and when to go heavy, when to burnish and when to let the paper surface show through, how to add a last bit of vivid brightness to make colors extra brilliant, and how to “mush” colors together with a White colored pencil.

It’s all inside, and you end up with a yummy drawing as a reward for all that fun skill-building you’ve done!

About In-Depth Tutorials: Whether you are new to drawing animals in colored pencil or a seasoned artist, you will gain invaluable insight, practice, and experience from this project. Our In-Depth tutorials are all about preparing yourself for future wins, while also creating a beautiful piece of artwork.

Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features detailed steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface! With large images and 24 or more bite-sized steps, In-Depth tutorials truly show you exactly how the artist works, making it easy and stress-free to learn new colored pencil techniques and achieve success.
